Good Saturday bloggers,
If we reach 95° today and Sunday at KCI, our official Kansas City reporting station, we will have our first heat wave of the summer. Remember, it takes three straight days of 95° or higher to make a heat wave. The humidity does not count, even though to us it counts a lot.
This hot weather is timed for the White Sox vs. Royals series. At least two of the three games are evening games. The game tonight starts 1 hour earlier than the Friday game, so it will be hotter at the start of the game, around 90°. But temperatures will drop to the upper 70s and low 80s during the game.
Now, the Sunday game at 1:10 PM will feature extremely hot conditions. In the shade, the high will be 95°, in the sun it will be 105° and the heat index will run 105°-115° in the shade and sun. In the sun, it could even be a higher heat index. Drink plenty of water and wear light weight, light colored clothing.
A cold front arrives Tuesday with a chance of thunderstorms as we track major hurricane Erin.
Details on the heat, cold front and major hurricane are in the video below.
Have a great weekend
Stay healthy
